I`ve had this argument with a mate of mine who worships Bathory ( he had to 
take the afternoon off work when he found out Quorthon had died! ) but thosr 
forst 2 Bathory albums are awful. I can accept them for being highly 
influential and important albums in the underground metal scene, and in that 
respect I guess they need to be mentioned, but as a listening experience 
they both suck IMO. Bathory became interesting with Under the Sign and 
created a clsasic in Blood Fire Death.
Yeah, that was great. Saw Napalm Death the other day, they played a cover of 
Lowlife ( can`t remember which CS album that comes from off the top of my 
head )
I like this but Voivod`s first great album was Kiling Technology IMO. I know 
a few on here will disagree though.
Certainly, one that I mentioned as well.
See my comments re:Bathory for this one really.
As do I - can`t believe I forgot Emperor`s debut, amazing. All of those you 
mentioned at the end are bona fide classics. "

I was referring to my dodgy spelling, not my evaluation of Bathory. "

Well I said these are just some of the candidates, not the definitive list 
by any means.
A decent 9/10 album for me, I like all of their albums pretty much - other 
than few hiccups in the middle.
I think that's a more popular choice but I liked Money Talks better somehow.
That's a good album and Piggy was an incredibly underrated guitarist. Most 
of the metal bands at that time were ripping off from either Maiden or JP 
but W&P was in a different league. A good debut, I think Metal Massacre V 
had Condemned to the Gallows before it appeared in the expanded version of 
W&P.
Another awesome debut, I saw them to play in San Diego, in '86, Voivod 
opening, back when Metal was original...
Great debut with Tom G in the vocal once more, though this is not a 
full-length album - an EP only.
Considering the time when Welcome to Hell came out, yes... Venom would be my 
choice as well. But I think I enjoyed Death more, or Dio for a lighter 
choice. "

Metal Church is a non-thrash album?
The last album (Unleash the Fury) was quite good, Winds Of War (Invasion), 
Cracking The Whip, Guardian Angel, Unleash The Fury all are decent tunes. "

The OP seems to differ with what seemed to be an obvious opinion. "
